@Eboni: Thanks for commenting! I think you’re right, all we can control is us. But, I strongly believe that when we transform ourselves, our perspective…whatever there is to transform…*something* else is going to change, too. It may not be your co-parent, but it could very well be your experience of your co-parent, i.e., a release of that internal stress and struggle that often accompanies the challenges of co-parenting and/or dealing with the reality of a parent who isn’t involved.

Thank you for this Talibah. Although I can not change the way my co-parent views things, I can certainly shift my focus to what’s really important.

Great questions. I think these are good to ask in general.

If I can get fellow co-parents to read nothing else, this post would be it! You summed it right up.

Co-Parenting + Spades = a winning combination!

Thanks for this wisdom.

Mm! I love those questions. If every parent asks those questions, then everybody wins.

Come to think of it, if everybody who deals w/kids asks those questions, then parents, kids, grandparents, teachers…EVERYBODY wins.

I’m borrowing these questions for my family coaching program, and I’m citing this post as a reference.

GREAT words to live by.
